New Haven Man Sought In Fatal Hartford Nightclub Shooting

HARTFORD – Police are searching for a New Haven man in connection with a fatal shooting at a Hartford nightclub early Friday.

Police have obtained an arrest warrant for Angel Morales, 25.

A fight broke out at Up Or On The Rocks, at 50 Union Place, around 12:30 a.m. Friday, as the club was closing. The fight continued outside, and 21-year-old Miguel Delgado of East Hartford was shot in the chest, police said; he died about two hours later at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center.

Morales has an arrest history in New Haven and Windsor areas, Hartford police said.

He was last seen operating a black 2008 Honda Accord with the canceled Connecticut registration: 657-XUO.

"Morales should be considered armed and dangerous,'' police said in a press release. Anyone who comes in contact with him is urged to use caution because the weapon used in the homicide has not been recovered.
